Associate Professor of Music and Coordinator of Composition Dr. Mark Volker recently released a new album titled “Young Prometheus – the Music of Mark Volker.” It features several of his most recent and successful works including “Quotations,” a suite performed by The Luna Nova Ensemble, “Dust to Dust” for string quartet and “Echoes of Yesterday” for clarinet. The title suite, “Young Prometheus,” is drawn from the music for the Nashville Ballet’s production “Frank.” The performers include Belmont’s own Kristian Klefstad, associate professor of piano, Carolyn Treybig, lecturer of flute and Alison Gooding Hoffman, School of Music instructor.
The performances for the album were recorded at Belmont’s Columbia Studio A and Ocean Way Studio and engineered by Kelly Ford, Belmont faculty member. The album is available on iTunes, Amazon, Navona Records and Barnes & Noble.
